Memory Care Communities in Paoli, PA

"I like the size of the apartments at Wellington at Hershey's Mill, both the one-bedroom apartment and the studio. They were spacious compared to the others. It looked pleasant. The woman that did the tour was excellent and very knowledgeable. I liked the restaurants and the activities they have for the residents. I also liked the proximity of the nurses to the areas that were in charge. They have a gym, a gathering area, and recreations."

"My mom was a resident at sunrise. She had her ups and downs there. The room was ok. Part of the bathroom mirror was missing and wasn’t replaced. She complained about the food, but found things she liked on the menu. Alex the activity director sometimes brought lunch in for the residents. Alex put a lot of life into the facility. My mom had a great experience with two care takers, Justin and Latoya. They were both exceptional. All in all sunrise was a nice place to live."

"My husband has been at Merrill Gardens at West Chester for a month now. The staff there is very competent and very much involved with my husband. They know him by name. He's not just a person there, they care for him. Anything we have asked of them, they have come through. The concierge people at the front desk are excellent. They are always in a good mood and very customer service oriented. Everybody is accessible from the manager to the head nurse, and they're always open to your visit. They have a diner where the residents can get their breakfast and lunch, and it's not just a stale type of dining room. They have a movie theater. Because they are at the end of the Brandywine Airport, they have what they call a control tower where you can go and see the planes land and take off, and they're encouraging the pilots to say hi to the residents that are there. And that is a big selling point. It is decorated with airplanes and stuff like that. They also have a lounge where 2 days a week you can have drinks, you can get together with friends, and the family can come in. It's completely open and the residents enjoy that. They have a little store that has the best presentation I have ever seen. They also have a place for you if you want to bring your family and have a private dinner with them. The surroundings of the building are kept very nice."

"We live at The Quadrangle, and we are extremely happy. We are in a cottage. We've been here for eight years. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We have all the support we need for any problem that we have. This is a physically beautiful community with 70 acres of woodland. We have trails around. I ride an electric cart, and I can ride all around the fire road. We have a pond. We have very active activities, all organized by the residents. The Quadrangle emphasizes the life of the mind. Most of our residents are highly educated, formerly people in education and business. We have a common dining room, and we have a grill, and you can eat at either place. You have to have reservations for the dining room. It's very elegant. We think the food is wonderful, it's healthy, and has many choices. Since we live in a cottage and my husband and I are still well and in good health, we generally get our dinner and bring it back to the cottage so that we can eat privately. We have just undergone an extensive internal renovation of the facility, and this summer, there will be an external renovation of more plantings and more designs. We have over 70 activities."

"I toured Spring Mill Senior Living. I had the feeling that it was a community, not a hospital. It also had very nice amenities. The staff and the support people there were very nice and very knowledgeable. It was beautiful, gorgeous, very clean, and very orderly."

"I toured Sunrise of Granite Run, and everybody there was nice. I liked that they had bigger rooms and a lot of options. They had two bedrooms, a single bedroom that was a little bit bigger and a single one that was a little smaller. They had a little dining room. It was more like an apartment, and everything I saw was nice. As for the money, it's much cheaper than other facilities. They had a little bingo game there, and they kept the people entertained, which was nice."

"My wife moved into Sunrise of Haverford a week ago. They seem to be very nice to her, and she's getting very good care. They put her in a wheelchair or a regular chair, and she's sitting up as much as possible, and they try to involve her in activities. She's not just stuck in a bed permanently. They seem very pleasant and professional. The memory care unit has lots of activities, and they try to get them involved, and the people are extremely nice. They do singing, little exercises, and batting a balloon around. The food seems really good and very plentiful. For breakfast, they gave her sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, and a pancake. They have a little courtyard for the memory care residents. And when the weather is good, they take them out in wheelchairs."

"We are waiting to hear back from Sunrise of Westtown. You can be as independent as you like, but you can also have full care. For example, they can oversee medications, dressing, showering, and changing for incontinence. They do just about everything. They have nurses on-staff. You don't have to take all those services, but they offer it. It was a beautiful facility. It was arranged and designed very well. Each floor has a central location, and they call that a hub. Then the hallways to the rooms kind of branch off of that hub, and they call them spokes. It was very well designed, and it was absolutely beautiful. It was very clean with fresh paint and decorated nice. I couldn't say enough about it. It was just beautiful."

"The tour at Merrill Gardens at Glen Mills was excellent. It was very beautiful. The staff was gracious. They made you feel welcome. The person who did the tour was wonderful and very informative. They were very helpful, very pleasant, and very accommodating. What I've seen of the food, and what was I told about the chef and all, if I chose that place, I would be very happy."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle. The residents seemed happy because I talked to some of them. The staff has longevity, which means they like their job and very friendly. I like their movie room. I like the schedule of activities. My only concern with that place is that there's a distance between, depending on where my mother would get a room, it would be too far to get to the cafeteria, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Their hallways are long. She sometimes has a lot of pain. My only worry would be making sure she got down to the cafeteria because it's like a walk and then an elevator ride, but the cafeteria is lovely, even with the outdoor seating. The staff was great. The facility was good. There just seemed to be a slight odor, but I'm going to guess with diapers and incontinence, and stuff that would happen at any facility, but I felt it was pretty clean."

"I toured Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting. It's outstanding. I wanted to move there. They were fantastic. The rooms were a little on the smaller side, but the building was brand new. The person who gave the tour was fantastic, and the food looked good."

"Food is very good. Staff is very friendly and considerate."

"My husband has been a resident at Eagleview Landing since June of 2023. We (all of our family and even our friends) are so pleased with the care, compassion, knowledge and friendliness of everyone at this facility. They made his adjustment a breeze. Even his neurologist commented on how well he adjusted (and I feel it because of the care he gets everyday!) Michele G. is your initial contact. Michele does an outstanding job explaining what to expect but, most importantly once you are there she still follows up to make sure your expectations are being met. You will find everyone from General Manager, Business Office, Front Desk Team, Nurses, Caregivers, Therapy team , Kitchen, Activities Coordinators, Cleaning Crew, and Maintenance Crew are always accessible and willing to help if you need anything! The Bayada Therapy team does an outstanding job. Seniority Health also takes great care of the residents. The "amenities" are great. No need to take your love one or yourself out for hairdresser, nail, Dr. Dentist and Podiatry. The food service is amazing. Great selection of meals for residents and each plate is made to order. Impressive!! Along with the great care. The facility itself is beautiful and well maintained. Very clean and does NOT smell. I have had family and friends tell me they have never seen a Long Term Care Facility so nice with so many pleasant and friendly employees. THANK YOU to everyone at Eagleview Landing for all you do!!"

"I like that Atria Lafayette Hill was very clean. The people were very friendly. When I walked in, I didn't feel like I was going into a nursing home. I felt like I was coming into an apartment more so than some of the other places. What I liked about Atria was the fact that it was age-in-place. You can stay in the apartment if you need personal care or if you need any kind of physical assistance. The only time you have to move out of that apartment is if you have to go into memory care. I like the idea that my brother can possibly stay there for a while, and he wouldn't have to move locations. So that's very nice, and I like that. The other thing I like about them is that they don't have a buy-in. They had a community fee that was whatever the rent was for the month. And it only has a hundred rooms, so to me, that wasn't that big. And it was pleasing to the eye. I like the idea that it's a la carte. If they need a little bit of assistance, it's this much more amount, or if they need medication, it's this much more amount. And the staff who gave the tour was amazing. She spent a lot of time with me, and answered all my questions. She was very informative. If she didn't have an answer, she looked it up for me and she got back to me. So that was impressive."
